The texans barely get by the jaguars and Detroit , yet the falcons easily beat the saints and bucs and ” there is something missing”. When the patriots, niners, packers, giants, ravens play bad, they lose the game. When the falcons play bad find a way to win it, Yet “there is something missing” ,lol

Not sure Denver will play the Colts anyhow. Denver is going to crush the Ravens, end with a 13-3 record and a #2 or #3 seed. Then, Indy will have to advance to the divisional round to play Denver which I doubt will happen. Even if they DID play, the game wouldn’t be close..

The New GM in Carolina would not be the GM for long if he kept Rivera. It is obvious to anyone watching a Panther game that Rivera is no head coach. The man is a statue on the sidelines, never offering any advise or coaching to his players. He could do what he does from the stands with the fans.

Yes the Bengals over the Steelers. This doesn’t go by what happened weeks ago. It’s about who’s hot right now. The Bengals are hot and the Steelers aren’t. It’s that simple. Without Ben, the Steelers won’t go anywhere. Yeah Batch won the other day. Big deal. He won’t do anything the rest of the season as long as he starts. The Bengals on the other hand are showing promise. This isn’t the same team the Steelers faced earlier just as the STeelers aren’t the same team the Bengals faced. I believe the Bengals will be favored in the next game.

I think you’re completely right about Andy Reid…after all, long-tenured coaches always struggle for work after they are canned. I believe Jeff Fisher retired after being released by Tennesse, started a crawfish farm.

21. Bills: Why do they do even try to do anything other than give the ball to C.J. Spiller?

Someone want to relay this message to chan gailey? Instead of handing it to spillers whos averaging over 6 yards a carry in game deciding plays vs the titans and at the patriots they let fitz throw picks. Thats what a good coach would do and thats the reason the bills are 5-7 and not 6-6 or 7-5.

Is it just me or do the Texans play the Jags and Titans every week? Now we start to find out how good they really are.
===============
Is it just me, or do the Pats play the Bills, Jets and Dolphins every week? And don’t even mention the grease fire of the AFC West that the Broncos play in…

Putting the Seahawks as seventh makes sense. The defense is excellent, special teams are outstanding, and now people are starting to realize that Russell Wilson is more than excellent–he’s the real deal. This season–his rookie year–he has already beaten Jay Cutler, Tony Romo, Tom Brady (and whine all you want but Aaron Rodgers and the Packers, too). With the receivers coming alive, an excellent running game, and being unbeaten at home with 3 of the last 4 games at home, the Seahawks are in very good shape.

I cant disagree with your ranking for the Ravens, but last sunday was a rare loss at home. I dont see them losing another home game this season. If they want the first round bye they have to beat THE GREAT Bob at FedEx field on Sunday. Lets roll the dice to see how Flacco will do on the road.

****************************
It’s just you. As of now the Texans have played the 8th hardest schedule while Atlanta and New England are have played the easiest. We have beaten the Broncos and Bears on the road and Baltimore at home and Detroit on the road for thanksgiving which is always tough especially considering we are dropping people like flies. Pay attention before you comment. Good Day

Flip the Giants and Redskins, and this seems about right. I know the Giants still have the (slightly) better record. But the Redskins won a head-to-head matchup fourteen hours ago.
———————————————————————
Did you forget that the Giants beat the Redskins about 6 weeks ago? Where I come from, that’s called a “split”.

Get back to me when Matty Ice (laughable) actually wins a playoff game.

And this is called the Power Rankings. New rankings come out each week depending on what each team did the previous week. The Redskins deserve to be above the Giants since they beat them 1 day ago.

Peep this: I’m at the bottom of the feeder currently at 31st with tied with the Chiefs with the worst record, so anything I say is a neutralized un-biased opinion..
The top 5 seems to have the right teams, but I’m sure not numerically. Every team has its weaknesses & Atlanta, for example, is a very beatable team, while the Broncos are red hot right now. Houston is a little banged up on the defensive side, but the NFL has “kind of” figured out how to play against Wade Phillips defense. The Pats should be ranked #1 based on performance, & with Jordy Nelson nursing his injury, the only thing keeping the Packers from being “the” team is their OL. However, any of these teams including the rest of he crop are beatable. There doesn’t seem to be 1 team that stands out who could go unbeatable. Its the NFL, “Any Given Sunday” #32 can beat #1 so go figure!

I don’t think there was a single Cowboys fan- or at least there shouldn’t have been- bragging about beating the Eagles. It was a sad performance by our defense yet again. What is the point of hiring a big time d coordinator when he puts in a system so complex, the defense falls apart when a new signal caller has to step up?
Yes, this happened twice this season, but the Eagles put up 30 without Vick or Mcoy. It is just a sad state of affairs in Dallas and making the playoffs would only hurt the team more. Jerry Jones needs to go 1-15, draft someone like RG3, and allow the whole division to play catch up with the Giants.

Oh, so that’s how it works. OK, then I guess the Rams deserve to be ranked above the 49ers, right? I mean, they beat them 2 days ago.

Not a Falcons fan at all, and have no strong opinion on their power ranking, or on Matt Ryan’s quarterbacking ability. However, I do have strong opinions on cheap beer, and am continually frustrated by gross misinterpretations of his nickname. While there is some connotation of coolness and composure in the name “Matty Ice”, it originated during his time at BC and is based on the connection between classic college beer “Natty Ice” and Ryan’s college frat dude appearance and demeanor, not his abilities as an NFL quarterback. So while it’s certainly “goofy” and “funny”, it’s not “laughable”.

#14 in the PFT rankings but #1 in God’s ranking. The Washington Redskins are the best team in the NFC and the only remaining question is who will face them in the Superbowl.

—————————————————-

Check with Eli or Peyton, since they are from NO they may have some pull to get the redskins seats for the game. The Mannings may need the extra seats for friends and family that want to see the brothers face off in the first ever Brother Vs Bother Superbowl ever though 🙂

I am not a Denver, or Manning fan… But I get the feeling Denver is going to be the team to beat. I was glad to see the Bears finally fall out of the top, I watched them play and I never thought they looked that good in the first place. Atlanta… a bunch of their wins was due to how the ball bounced, it is one of those sixth sense things, when the going gets really tough and they going to be able to hold up against the Giants, or Packers, or 49er’s.

I really at a lost as to why you do not want to give the Falcon’s the respect they deserve. Did you not watch the last Falcons-Saints game?
1. 11-1
2. Beat Denver and Payton Manning
3. With four games to play, the Atlanta Falcons are already in position to secure a first-round playoff bye and home-field advantage throughout NFC playoffs. Who else is at that point.
4.Picked off Breez 5 times
5. Beat Washington and RG3

The Ravens’ loss to the Steelers was both embarrassing and disappointing, and they deserve the #8 ranking. But to say that they not only won’t bounce back but will completely drop the ball on the rest of the season is just wrong. People are saying things like “The Ravens will lose the AFC North and be the wild card” and “The Ravens are terrible they’ll lose their last 4 games and miss the playoffs.” WHAT? The loss was bad, but the Ravens are not that bad of a team. They will not lose to the Redskins, Giants, Broncos, AND Bengals, they will bounce back and win AT LEAST 2 of those games, especially because Ray Lewis is back. To say they won’t is idiotic.

Packers will lose to the Vikings in 2 weeks! Packers are way overrated! #5???? Please, they could barely beat my. Vikings , who have no quarterback or wide receivers, just the best back in the game! But he will run for another 200 and you will get beat! Pack will be lucky to make the playoffs

I have to say, the Falcons have now beaten every team that they have played against. If you are going to judge them by playoff victorys or strength of schedule, shouldn’t this be the 2012 power rankings instead of the week 13 power rankings?

They have done pretty well considering that they have no control over the factors that they appear to be judged on.
